This book was released on 2013-02-18 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field Marshal Wood ranks as one of the most eminent soldiers of the Victorian era of the British Empire. He served with distinction in the mud and misery of the Crimean War, the Indian Mutiny, Wolseley’s Ishanti War, the Zulu War and in Egypt and the Sudan. His actions on attacking a gang of robbers intent on murdering a local merchant earned him the Victoria Cross - his second recommendation for the V.C. His enduring affection for the cavalry in which he served early in his illustrious career led to him penning two historical works regarding the arme blanche. This work focusses on the historical triumphs of the cavalry deployed on the battlefield from 1794 to 1870, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars and the 1870 Franco-Prussian War. From the field of Marengo in 1800 to the famed “Death Ride” of von Bredow in 1870, Field Marshal Wood retells the events with authenticity and skill. A pacy and engaging read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Achievements of Cavalry Some years ago, when commanding the Aldershot District, I came to the conclusion that our cavalry officers were being discouraged at field-days by the system of umpiring, which was faulty, in that it did not represent the probable results of war. This was so because it was assumed that the effect of rifle fire on Service nearly equalled that obtained on the ranges, and also because we over-estimated the value of Artillery practice when guns were laid on moving targets. Moreover, the application of the rules then in force was often to the prejudice of the Mounted branches. In conjunction with my friend and colleague, General Sir Drury Lowe, then commanding the Cavalry brigade, I endeavoured to correct such erroneous judgments, and to bring out truer solutions. The consideration of the subject, and careful study of many military histories, has demonstrated to me how essential it is that cavalry officers should know when and how to charge, and when to refrain from the attack.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prevalent view among historians is that both horsed cavalry and the cavalry charge became obviously obsolete in the second half of the nineteenth century in the face of increased infantry and artillery firepower, and that officers of the cavalry clung to both for reasons of prestige and stupidity. It is this view, commonly held but rarely supported by sustained research, that this book challenges. It shows that the achievements of British and Empire cavalry in the First World War, although controversial, are sufficient to contradict the argument that belief in the cavalry was evidence of military incompetence. It offers a case study of how in reality a practical military doctrine for the cavalry was developed and modified over several decades, influenced by wider defence plans and spending, by the experience of combat, by Army politics, and by the rivalries of senior officers. Debate as to how the cavalry was to adjust its tactics in the face of increased infantry and artillery firepower began in the mid nineteenth century, when the increasing size of armies meant a greater need for mobile troops. The cavalry problem was how to deal with a gap in the evolution of warfare between the mass armies of the later nineteenth century and the motorised firepower of the mid twentieth century, an issue that is closely connected with the origins of the deadlock on the Western Front. Tracing this debate, this book shows how, despite serious attempts to ’learn from history’, both European-style wars and colonial wars produced ambiguous or disputed evidence as to the future of cavalry, and doctrine was largely a matter of what appeared practical at the time.

Download or read book Our Cavalry written by Michael Frederic Rimington and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work aimed to provide valuable information on Cavalry. A cavalry is a group of soldiers or warriors who combat mounted on horseback. Michael Frederic Rimington writes about the origins of the cavalry, how it was in the past ages, the changes it underwent, its horses, tactics, participation in battles, and many more. Not only do we learn about the functioning and operations of the cavalry, but we also understand the beliefs of the author regarding war and what winning a war meant to him. It is an insightful work for the junior officers of all armies because of the helpful pieces of advice Rimington gives throughout. This makes the book relevant even today when cavalry isn't even present in large numbers.
